Evolute Group: Delivering Quality Event Experience

Separator
Pratik Kedia & Chinmai Jain Kedia,  Co-FoundersWe call them start stars. Why? Because just easy as it is to launch a start-up, it's even easier to make mistakes, and the one who slows down and learns is definitely winning the race. Let’s throw some light on this. Any growing business faces a range of challenges. As a business grows, different problems and opportunities demand different solutions. Like what worked a year ago might not be the best approach today. With the changing times, those who learn to adapt and evolve are the ones who learn to adapt and evolope are the ones who shine brightly.

Based out of Mumbai, Evolute Group is definitely a start-up star carving a niche in the industry. Evolute believes in the vision of creating a 360-degree brand and September 2015, Evolute has
delivering a one-stop solution for all event and media related requirements. Incorporated in come a long way from where it all started. There is a background of well-conducted surveys, thorough market research and one-on-one sessions with senior management members of different corporates - across segments that has further strengthened the company’s growth over the years. “We identified the major gap in the industry when it came to creativity and delivery of good quality work. We immediately knew this was the space we would venture into and thus Evolute,” mentions Pratik Kedia, Co-Founder, Evolute Group, recalling the initial days.

Pratik and Chinmai - the co-founders of Evolute,also noticed that a majority of clients were facing a lot of inter dependency with cross communication and management of multiple vendors to achieve a single project – ultimately affecting the creativity and in-time quality output. In fact, this helped in creating the very foundation stone for Evolute Group; to make every project of their clients’ a brand-enhancing experience rather than a struggle to simply finish a task assigned. Today, Evolute rests on the three core pillars of Creativity, Quality & Experience.

The Journey of Evolute Group
Every game-changing vision starts with a lot of backlash due to the herd mentality and limited risk-taking appetite of individuals in the industry. Evolute had it no different when they started their journey to create an experience-driven brand instead of a traditional one. Chinmai Jain Kedia, Co-Founder, Evolute Group, enthusiastically speaks, “We started our journey by changing the approach for small projects where an individual’s willingness to take a risk was higher and they were open to exploring new ideas. As the client's experience grew along with the belief in our approach, we started working from small to medium to large projects along with growing from one client to another, and another...”

In no time, Evolute undoubtedly has become one of the best experience-driven agencies in India. The company understands the current market scenario much better than any other competitors in the market. At present, with a large group of people looking towards being independent either by freelancing or starting their own entrepreneurial venture, there is a large flow towards a monetary-driven market rather than a creative or experience-driven market. And clients are facing a large chunk of failures in commitments as work is
being accepted at a low cost to break into the competition & final outputs and their timelines are nowhere close to the client’s expectation. In addition to this, the depreciated quality of output of the project also impacts the brand value where the repercussions of the same cannot be judged or calculated monetarily. Throwing light on Evolute's impact in the space, Pratik explicates “We have always cultivated and ensured to stick by our quality standards and vision of an experience-driven brand. We have instilled in our team the distinctive attribute to work with a single goal - where an experience is all that matters and we strive to ensure that our vision and three pillars are always intact.”

The Evolution from Curating Events to Creating Digital Experiences – A One-Stop Solution for Clients
Over a short span of time, Evolute has forayed into a whole new dimension and has expanded its services from Events to Media by servicing the client’s need for creatives, digital marketing, branding, brand communication, ads & shoots and many more. Excited Pratik narrating about the recent progress avers, “We realized that to overcome the challenges the industry has thrown our way, it was important for us to grow and thrive. Therefore, to keep up with the market, we need to plan ahead. Our problem-solving skills have improved over time and now we have the right systems in place. Also, our skills and attitude towards every project have evolved with time.”

Chinmai further adds, “We realized it was important for us to branch out into the media space because events were not just limited to planning and execution, but also included branding and marketing that falls under this banner.Inevitably, this way, we help clients grow holistically thereby increasing their brand experience and substantially reducing the time and resources spent on managing multiple vendors for execution.”

The Growth Way Forward
Evolute Group, started by two excorporates Pratik and Chinmai with the agenda to change the mindset of people in the industry once and for all, over the years, has grown to become a full-fledged company. The co-founders are optimistic about the future of Evolute and anticipate that within a year’s time the company is looking forward to building a team of 60-70 individuals. As of today, the team comprises of hardworking and dedicated young individuals, who are experienced in their respective fields, and have played a vital role in the company’s growth. “Our team members are extremely enthusiastic about what they do and played a very important role in bringing the brand to where it is today”, proudly states Pratik.

Chinmai says,“We as a team actively work to ensure commitments towards customer service, integrity towards our clients. Overall, we have created a fun and effective work environment."

In terms of clients, they have served a large number of corporates, which includes big names like Reliance, Tata, JSW, VFS Global, UBM, Travel Food Services, Trans Union and many more.

It is a holistic luxury wedding planning and designing company that caters to all kinds of wedding requirements.”
